Every Day Carry Watch Kit

It’s not really EVERY DAY, but there have been multiple occasions requiring me to pack up a little go kit for watches (my brother asks me to drop by and adjust a strap, a co-worker wants me to have a look, etc.).

Inspired by the ethos of every day carry, I searched my gear for duplicates that could reasonably stay packed.

The Bergeon/Swiss army case back remover is the pivotal piece. A great caseback tool plus a blade.

Right next to that is a springbar and pin tool with a cheat upgrade; the tool was from a cheap Ali Express kit, but the tips are Bergeon replacements.

I modified a corkscrew to hold two Victorinox mini tools.

The red tool is a press. Sometimes a freehand push of a strap pin feels a little reckless. This offers more control.

The Buck multi-tool picks up a number of other utilities.

Finally, the pouch allows me to transport a watch in the kit without fear of scratching it in the tools.

It was fun making it. I hope I get to use it soon.
